The MRT2 (initial name) or MRT Sungai Buloh-Serdang-Putrajaya Line (interim name) or SSP Line (shortform name) is the second Mass Rapid Transit line which is currently under construction, as part of the Klang Valley Mass Rapid Transit Project which comprises three planned lines.

The approved alignment is 52.2km in length, of which 13.5km is underground. A total of 37 stations, 11 of them underground, will be built. The line will stretch from Sungai Buloh to Putrajaya and will include densely populated areas Sri Damansara, Kepong, Batu, Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah, Jalan Tun Razak, KLCC, Tun Razak Exchange, Kuchai Lama, Seri Kembangan and Cyberjaya. It is expected to have a ridership of 533,000 passengers per day once completed.

The first phase of MRT2 between Sungai Buloh station and Kampung Baru station is expected to be operational by July 2021. The remaining line is expected to be operational in 2022.

When completed, the line will be one of the components of the Klang Valley Integrated Transit System.
